Battery Handling
Follow the procedure below to ensure proper battery operation and reduce 
personnel hazards.
• Use only for the intended operation.
• Do not ship or dispose of cells except according to recommended 
procedures.
• Do not ship on passenger aircraft.
Storage 
Store lithium batteries in a cool, dry environment, typically 20…25 °C
(68…77 °F) and 40…60% humidity. Store the batteries and a copy of the battery 
instruction sheet in the original container, away from flammable materials.
Transportation 
One or Two Batteries
Each battery contains 0.23 g of lithium. Therefore, up to two batteries can be 
shipped together within the United States without restriction. Regulations 
governing shipment to or within other countries may differ.
ATTENTION: 
• Do not charge the batteries. An explosion could result or the cells could overheat 
causing burns.
• Do not open, puncture, crush, or otherwise mutilate the batteries. A possibility of 
an explosion exists and/or toxic, corrosive, and flammable liquids would be 
exposed.
• Do not incinerate or expose the batteries to high temperatures. Do not attempt to 
solder batteries. An explosion could result.
• Do not short positive and negative terminals together. Excessive heat can build up 
and cause severe burns.
